For some people, the mention of the name “Tesla” makes them think of the new electric car. For others it rekindles images of the heavy metal band from the late ’80s and early ’90s. For many though, it sparks memories of the brilliant scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla, whose many inventions and discoveries are still in use today making our lives better and brighter.
In 2018, on the 75th anniversary of his passing, Serbia issued the first in a series of silver commemorative coins to celebrate the genius of the Serbian-born American, Nikola Tesla. Each legal tender (100 Dinara) coin was struck from 1oz of .9999 fine silver and features not only the image of the scientific pioneer, but also one of his greatest inventions -- the alternating current (AC) induction motor.
Considered one of the Top 10 discoveries of all time, it made its public debut at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago where it was used to dazzling effect to light the massive world’s fair. The motor is still the main power source for industry and household appliances today!
You’d think with a résumé such as his that Tesla’s name would be a household word. Unfortunately, Tesla sold most of his patents, and the fame generated by his discoveries was bestowed onto others. Discarded and forgotten, he died in 1943 alone and penniless in a New York City hotel. It wasn’t until a 2017 episode of the hit CBS comedy “Big Bang Theory” that Tesla’s name started to get its due among the general public. During the episode, the gang debates whether they are “Teslas,” who make their own discoveries, or “Edisons,” who build upon existing research. The spike in Google searches about Tesla was felt immediately.
